If you are having excruciating pain down your buttock and leg, you are suffering from wa is known as cyatica (sp) - you have a trapped nerve and no amount of core, bio, or chyro is going to fix it I'm afraid. I had the same problem with a broken disc between L5/S1 - had to have 2 back ops (microdisectomy and laminectomy) - busy with extensive physio & bio rehab now, and only able to start light on-road cycling recently. You need to see a neurosurgeon and probably have a MRI to determine whether to operate or not. Sorry fr the bad news, but trust me - I've just been there!

Why not look at 2nd-hand, you get a lot more for your money

Glad to hear they seem ok - too much of this kind of thing happening nowadays. Fair enough it might have been an accident for whatever reason, but to flee the scene is despicable. Probably the usual unlicenced/ drunk, etc. Hope the coward rots in hell
